[WIP] SWC's IXB Repaint

10-27-07, 01:10 PM

This is my first project, I'm testing the water and trying to give Koon a little run for his money :p

I'm repainting this based off Koon's 9B's, there is no rust - yet, all of the rivets were hand placed back into position after I painted over them and I'm not done with that part yet... Perhaps the red needs to be a little darker but we'll see how she goes when I get back from the football game... (Go Gators!!!)

My IXB nicknamed "Vengance Is Mine"

Thanks for checking out my work! Thoughts comments and constructive criticisms welcome :hmm:

Its not a bad job,
diferent yes...

but for me mate, it looks like
a Christhmas Gift !:hmm:

But defenetly diferent !

Yep, red, I need a base-coat for this paint scheme.

I'm leaning on a camo pattern for this, not sure if I can pull it off yet but it's back to slingin my paint

Different is always good, keeps things interesting for me. This thing looks really sweet in the game, just gotta get the daggone conning tower to look right

Still have a few greys to fill in...the periscope has 1/5 red and the rest is grey, but I'm debating leaving the red as it is and not putting any camo down.

lol I bet I won't sneak up on a convoy during the day, but during the night it's a different story

I'd put the coke logo on the conning tower if it weren't for copyrights...but it ain't like I'm making any money off of it :hmm:

linerkiller · 10-28-07, 09:19 AM

Cool

Just try to invert the color scheme....black above and red under the waterline....same colors but better results

I say keep it, as it's about time us U-boat captians had an equivalent to the WW1 Red Baron.

Thank you!!!

Here she is underwater:

Here she is on the surface:

Should the red be a bit darker or should I leave it alone?
I got almost all of the grey out of the skin except for the binoculars - haven't found that texture yet but I will eventually.

That's the view from the bridge.

She's finished!
I put the iron cross on the bow cause I got tired of messing with the conning tower placement. Maybe in another sub I'll get it right.

She's up for download now, the link's gonna be in my sig in a minute - same location as Koon's sub shop just on a different board.
